Safety and Security

Welcome

The Security Department at Hudson County Community College exists to serve all people within the College’s jurisdiction with respect, fairness and compassion. Our primary focus is to provide a safe and secure environment that is conducive to the education, employment and daily activities of our community. We maintain a vigilant and proactive approach to security concerns and continually evaluate our security measures to implement improvement. Therefore, “Team Work” or the collective efforts of students and staff in collaboration with local authorities and College security are necessary.

The Department provides security services such as: Shuttle Service, Photo ID’s, security escorts for personal safety, fire safety education, parking information, and a lost and found center, 81 Sip Ave.

This office is open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., seven days per week. Our Security dispatch is available 24/7, 365 days a year at (201) 360-4080.
